US gives Pakistan two weeks to eliminate Taliban

WASHINGTON: Stepping up pressure on Pakistan to take concrete action against the Taliban, the US has given Islamabad two weeks time to eliminate the insurgents from its soil before Washington determines what it will do next.

General David Petraeus, who heads the US Central Command, has told US officials that the coming two weeks would be "critical to determining whether the Pakistani government will survive", Fox News reported.

"The Pakistanis have run out of excuses" and are "finally getting serious" about combating the threat from Taliban and al-Qaida extremists operating out of the country's northwest, the general said.

Criticizing Pakistan's attitude towards fighting the insurgents, Petraeus said "we have heard it all before" that Pakistan was doing its best to eliminate the Taliban threat.

Bharti, Alcatel-Lucent in Telecom landline alliance

BHARTI Airtel has entered into a joint venture with Franco-American telecom gear maker Alcatel-Lucent to manage its landline and broadband business, expanding its tested strategy of outsourcing technology functions to focus more on marketing and sales.

Bharti, India’s largest telecom company, will be the minority partner in the 26:74 joint venture, and will invest Rs 2,500 crore into the new entity over five years.

“In about 40 countries, Alcatel-Lucent has carried out the transformation of fixed line networks to make them Internet Protocol-based and also next generation network-enabled. This is the type of support we want, and we chose Alcatel-Lucent,” said Bharti Airtel CEO Manoj Kohli.

BollyVote!
The stars step out for a change...

Time was when Dilip Kumar and Saira Banu provided the photo-op to the print media by stepping out to vote in their Mumbai North-Central parliamentary constituency at Pali Hill.

Other times it was Dev Anand, jaunty and debonair, and gallantly refusing to be treated like a star and jump the voters’ queue.

Now it is the young blood of Bollywood and the industry’s GenNext... some of them first time voters, some voting for the first time. But all eager to do their duty towards the country by voting.

Not for their preferred political party or favourite candidate, but for the change in governance that India so desperately is crying out for.

Mumbai is proud of its Bollywood stars, of this ‘Chak De! India’ spirit among them, of their voice, support, presence, music to the Times’ Lead India campaign that has motivated the electorate to step out and cast its vote.

From Aamir Khan to Vidya Balan, they were out there yesterday doing their bit for the poll process... the die has been cast. Let’s see what happens.

Investment & Wealth Creation Advice:

Please note that our advice is primarily for investors and not for speculators. Investors typically invest with 12-60 month investment perspective. You will therefore find that our advice does not change substantially from issue to issue.

We expect Sensex to come down to 8000-9000 level in the next few months. We expect Aug-Oct 09 period to be a very good period for making investments in good stocks / mutual funds in India. So, do plan your investments in advance.

Also, those who want to invest in realty in India should wait for some time as the flat and land prices are expected to come down substantially in the next 3-4 quarters.

Do consult your investment advisor before making any investment decisions.

Do not purchase shares of a good company at a wrong price. Also, do not purchase shares of a bad company even at a very low price.

Do not put all your eggs in one basket. Diversify your portfolio to de-risk. Do not put more than 33% of your investible funds in stocks and/or mutual funds. Put 33% in Fixed-Interest instruments and the remaining 33% in real estate when real estate prices are low.

Do not invest in stocks, mutual funds or realty when their prices are quite high. From the high levels, these prices normally come down by about 40-50% and that is when many people lose their hard earned money in a big way.

Make sure that you are not one of those big losers.

Make sure that you invest when prices are low (and that is the case in 2009) and divest when prices are high (which will be the case in Q1-2011).

Please note that Aug-Oct 2009 is expected to be a great period for investing your money in stocks & mutual funds in India.
